my bestfriend's brother {DISCONTINUED}

Chapter 35: Just Friends

(A/n: 15K!!! SKSKSKSKS ILY U SMOL BEANS)

Chloe's POV:

My mom made me stand outside with Noah, but all he was doing was sitting on his phone. I kind of forgot why my mom made me come out here, but I just went with it.

We waited and waited for multiple minutes for them to open the door.

They're taking a long time. I wonder what they're doing, I thought to myself.

I stared at my feet as I kicked them back and forth out of boredom. I saw someone's shoes shuffle towards me. I looked up and saw a boy with dark-curly brown hair and dots on his nose.

Dots? What's it called.. oh! Freckles!

He looked so familiar, yet I couldn't think of his name. It was on the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't put my finger on it.

"Uh, hey," the freckled boy said nervously.

"Hi," I replied quietly. "You, uh, doing okay?" He asked. I wasn't okay. I wanted to tell him everything, but I wasn't sure why. I felt like I could trust him. I wanted to tell him that I feel frustrated all the time, I couldn't ever remember anything. I could barely even remember where I was!

"I'm fine," I lied while nodding my head. I never thought that only two words could be such a big of a lie. He patted my shoulder and knocked on the door of the hospital room that Angel was in. I followed him because I was tired of waiting. I looked behind me to see if Noah was coming and I saw a girl behind me.

It was April.

She gave me a small, shy smile and walked into the room with the freckled boy.

"Finn?" I said quietly, wondering if I got his name right. The freckled boy turned around and raised an eyebrow. "Hm?"

"N-never mind," I replied.

I finally had remembered his name.

Angel's POV:

I saw all my friends walk into the room. Noah, Finn, and April. I was about to ask where Chloe was, but she walked in whilst slowly dragging her feet. She almost walked like a zombie.

"I won't allow you to cross the street anymore," Finn said to me while giving me a tight hug. I laughed. "Not without me, you won't cross," April replied as she also gave me a hug. I hugged them both back.

"We'll let you all catch up," Mrs. Schnapp said to us. We all nodded our heads and watched both her and my mom walk out the room while mumbling to each other. I wondered what they were talking about, but brushed the thought out of my mind seconds later as everyone was filling me in on everything.

And by "filling me in" I mean they were telling me all the drama that was going on at school. (A/n: spilling dat tea boii)

"She did what and got what?!" I exclaimed as I almost choked on the water I was drinking. "I know, I can't believe it either," April said to me. "I didn't even know that. How the hell did you get that information?" Finn asked April while laughing.

"I have my connections," she replied mischievously.

"Well, that's what she gets for pestering you while we were in that tree," Noah said to me. I laughed as I remembered the day Noah and I were climbing the tree as Jessica the Bitch was doing what she did best.

Being a bitch.

"But with all people.. Jake? It's obvious he would've had an STD," Finn replied to us. We all nodded our head in agreement. I noticed Chloe hasn't said a word yet. She was just staring off into space, daydreaming about who knows what. I wondered what was on her mind.

"Hey, Chlo?" I said softly. She quickly stopped daydreaming and smiled at me. "Yes?"

"You feeling okay?"

"Yeah, I'm great. Why do you ask?" She said sweetly while tucking her hair behind her ears. I eyed her for a few seconds, but let it go. It was probably just all the meds she's taking.

"Just checking up on my best friend," I said gently and smiled back. "Um, I'm your best friend," Noah retorted. "No, I am!" April argued.

"I can have more than one best friend guys," I said whilst laughing. We all laughed. "We'll see about that," Noah replied.

"What do you mean by that, Noah?" Chloe asked him. He furrowed his eyebrows. "Uh- He's talking about being my best friend, duh," I answered for him quickly. Chloe looked down with a confused look on her face.

"So, you guys are just friends?" Chloe asked.

"Just friends," I replied sternly while nodding my head. Everyone else turned to me and widened their eyes. I glanced over to Noah.

He had the saddest look on his face. I was guessing his mother didn't tell him about the symptoms of her meds. He looked truly hurt, like his heart had fallen into his stomach and he was going to throw it up.

"I-I need some air," was all he said as he quickly made his way out of the hospital room.
